FallingMarc 0 #1 September 12, 2002 I don't usually post random crap like this(well, except when I'm up all night), but this just struck me. I'm a psychology and aviation student. I'm taking a class that is cross-listed as psych/aviation/industrial engineering. It meets in the Mechanical Engineering building here. Now I know why people are engineers. This building is HUGE, clean, beautiful, and everybody in this class gets their own big roomy workstation with a rolly office chair and a nice computer. Most of my psych classes meet in rooms where the desks collapse if you lean the wrong way. I'm thinking of changing majors just so I can sit in this room more. And, I'm in the middle of class posting on DZ.com. Groovy? M Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just wait until you graduate and have to work an engineering firm. You are going to be sitting in a 8' x 8' cubicle just like everyone else. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhillyKev 0 #5 September 12, 2002 I don't know how you people do it. I feel claustraphobic in my 200sq. ft. office. Crap, have to adjust my surround sound speakers again, damnit. It's hard getting the acoustics right when you have so many windows. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dumpster 0 #7 September 12, 2002 Man! I got it made! My "office", if you will, is about 98,000 sq. ft, partial AC, and I do get to post at work once in a while! Plus I get to play with really cool Tim Allen type toys all the time! Easy Does It Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aneblett 0 #8 September 12, 2002 Damn I would be happy for a 4x4 cube if it came with a decent paycheque.... I graduated in May and no job yet Age BSc. Computer Engineering ---Underemployed---- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jessica 0 #9 September 12, 2002 Yeah, quit bitching...I've never had the privacy of a cube. Newsrooms are always totally open, so we can shriek at each other. And so we can all see the TVs. Why, I'm lucky to get enough privacy to post on dz.com!Skydiving is for cool people only Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DJL 235 #10 September 12, 2002 So I'm sitting here in my 8x10 cube at work where I'm an engineer and realizing that my workspace in college was nicer. The irony is that one of the projects we're going after is the redesign of the engineering building of my "college." Oh yeah, I'm going to screw them over.

carbon 0 #13 September 13, 2002 In my office we rate your stature by these measures: Number of chairs - The President has 4. I had 3 but someone demoted me . Private office or cube - We have too much off space so unless your a part-timer, you get a private office (with a real door!). Personal printer - the holy grail of Officedom. 2 days ago I completed the collection by getting a color printer! It's a major step up. I feel like I got a promotion.-Carbon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kris 0 #14 September 13, 2002 Well, going by those rating I have: 10x10 cube with several 100Mb connections P4 computer and laptop HP 2200D Laserjet (Fast & MINE! ALL MINE!) The ability to order any equipment or tools I need, no questions asked. I get to get out of the office several times a month to travel for projects. My hours are 8-ish to 5-ish and as long as I show back up from lunch sometime before the end of the day it's all good. And most importantly, if I see training being offered somewhere that I think might be interesting (Cisco, etc...) I get to go. We have a huge training budget.

Galen 0 #15 September 13, 2002 I'm a mechanical enginerd. Been out of school 5 years now. I started in the corporate office in Phila, PA... cube, mochaccino machine, cute girls in marketing, khakis and all that crap. Just when I started getting bored - a year later - they offered a position as a mfg. engineer/quality mgr. in Florida. At 24 knowing noone here I took it. I have a treehouse style office with ants. The plant has no A/C. Most of the hourly workers are right off the boat from somwhere. It's dirty, out of the corp. loop, and annoying but I go to work in shorts and a t-shirt, no one cares if I look hung over, no one trying to out do you, and my immediate boss is 1200 miles away. There has to a skydiving related job for an engineer that has design, project management, and manufacturing experience but I haven'f found it yet although I've only been at it for a few months. Anybody have experience with designing/manufacturing custom rigs? Anyone have capital? Respect the Dolphin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
